The U.S. Senate is finalizing its health reform legislation. A vote in the Senate Finance Committee was held today. The Finance Committee bill will now be melded with the Senate HELP Committee health reform bill, and Senate leaders will be working to finalize the package for a floor vote very soon. SDCMS and CMA have serious concerns. The bill could cut California physician rates at least 30%. The bills need significant improvement. We have an opportunity to influence the legislation, but physicians must act now!
